The Territorial Lord of Howling Moon Mountain had changed.
The news spread rapidly and caused a huge uproar in the entire territory!
The only demons that witnessed the battle in the Territorial Lord's cave abode were the Rat King and Bronze Bull.
Most of the Demon Race were confused.
They only heard that after the original Territorial Lord, Black Wolf, met a few people, the Territorial Lord of Howling Moon Mountain changed and Black Wolf gave up his position to become the second Deputy Territorial Lord!
Everything happened way too quickly and peacefully.
It was as though Howling Moon Mountain had a change of Territorial Lord overnight without any signs of invasion!
After the new Territorial Lord took over, there was no grand ceremony and everything ended after Black Wolf and Chan Ruyi made an announcement.
The demons did not even know what the new Territorial Lord looked like!
Everything about this matter was strange.
"I heard that there are five new Territorial Lords and they call each other brothers."
"There are five of them and I've even met four of them. One of them is a monkey demon, one is a tiger demon, one is a crane demon and one is a fox demon. However … "
"However what?"
"However, the four of them are only low-level fiend demons and their cultivation is only at early-stage Nascent Soul."
"Ah? How is that possible? Low-level fiend demons are the Territorial Lords of Howling Moon Mountain? "
"I heard that the leader of the five brothers is the current Grand Territorial Lord of Howling Moon Mountain and he's the strongest. He's definitely a mid-level fiend demon!"
"Have you seen the Grand Territorial Lord before? What's his true form? "
"I've never seen him before. I don't think the Grand Territorial Lord has ever shown himself before. He's extremely mysterious and I only heard that he's called Mo."
During this period of time, demons would often gather in Howling Moon Mountain and discuss excitedly.
In less than three days, the news had already spread to Black Sand Ridge, Cyclone Cave and Ghastly River and caused quite a stir as well!
In the depths of a sinister and blood-filled cave, there was a spacious hall.
Within the hall, there was a thin, blood-colored red line that pierced through the stone walls on both sides of the hall like a blood vessel.
A man sat on the blood line steadily and held a jade cup in his left hand. It was filled with a scarlet liquid that was still warm!
The man placed the jade cup under his nose and took a deep sniff. His eyes were half-closed as he revealed an intoxicated expression.
"The Territorial Lord of Howling Moon Mountain has changed. Could it be that Black Sand Ridge or Ghastly River got there first?"
The man muttered to himself, "No, no, they shouldn't be from these two territories!"
After pausing for a while, the man suddenly opened his eyes. A bloody light flashed as he said in a deep voice, "Go and investigate again!"
"Yes!"
A voice echoed in the hall.
Then, the sound of wings flapping could be heard. A streak of blood-red light flew out from the darkness above the hall and quickly disappeared.
The man unhurriedly drank the red liquid in the jade cup in one gulp. He stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, saying, "Mmm … delicious!"
Black Sand Ridge.
During this period of time, the demons of Black Sand Ridge had been living in fear.
The Young Lord of Black Sand Ridge had lost his physical body and returned with severe injuries. However, the culprit was still nowhere to be found.
Not long after, the young master of Black Sand Ridge failed his possession and died completely!
There were many restrictions to an Essence Spirit possession and it was extremely dangerous.
If one wanted to possess a body, the cultivation realm of the possessed individual could not be too low. At the very least, they had to be at Nascent Soul realm and had unlocked their Spirit Platform.
As for the possessed individual, their cultivation realms could not be too different.
Otherwise, if the Essence Spirit was too strong and entered the body of the possessed individual, the latter's body would not be able to withstand it and would explode into a blood mist!
In other words, there was a chance of success if both parties were of similar cultivation realms.
The fight for possession was actually a fight for the Essence Spirit.
If their cultivation realms were of similar cultivation realms, it meant that the outcome of the fight for the Essence Spirit was unpredictable!
In the process of possession, there were many cases where the possession failed and the primordial spirit was devoured instead.
That was the case for the young master of Black Sand Ridge.
At the end of the day, possession was not the orthodox path.
That was because possession was equivalent to seizing the life of others to extend one's own lifespan!
It was not an exaggeration to call it the evil path!
However, all living beings cultivated for longevity. Although they knew that possession was an evil art, there was no lack of orthodox cultivators who would resort to unscrupulous means to extend their lives!
The Territorial Lord of Black Sand Ridge was enraged after the death of the young master of Black Sand Ridge and killed many demon beasts. In fact, two protectors were killed by him personally because they said the wrong thing!
All the demons knew that if they could not catch the culprit, there would be countless more demon beasts that would have to die with him!
This day, a piece of news from Howling Moon Mountain broke the tension of Black Sand Ridge.
"Five people. Monkey, Linghu, crane and fox. All of them are low-level fiend demons …"
The Territorial Lord of Black Sand Ridge narrowed his eyes with a sinister killing intent!
If he was not wrong, there was a high chance that the five of them were the culprits behind the death of his child!
"To think that they would head to Howling Moon Mountain. Fufu."
The Territorial Lord of Black Sand Ridge had a menacing expression as he smiled sinisterly. "Let's see where else you can hide after I destroy Howling Moon Mountain!"
Ghastly River.
A young man in luxurious light blue robes laid on a colorful coral bed in a relaxed manner. He sipped on fine wine and listened to the news from the river demons under his command.
"Oh,"
The young man in luxurious robes was extremely calm after hearing the entire news and merely replied.
"Territorial Lord, I heard that Cyclone Cave and Black Sand Ridge have been on the move recently. There's a high chance that those two territories are going to make a move on Howling Moon Mountain!"
A river demon standing beside the coral bed said in a deep voice.
The man in luxurious robes waved it off. "A black scorpion and a smelly bat. There's nothing to fear!"
The river demon continued, "I heard that the new Territorial Lord of Howling Moon Mountain is called Mo. He's rather mysterious and has yet to reveal himself. I'm sure he must have some tricks up his sleeves since he was able to force Black Wolf to retreat."
"His combat strength can't be that high if he's sworn siblings with four low-level fiend demons."
The man in luxurious robes smiled gently and declared proudly, "If that man has some tricks up his sleeves, I'll take pity on his talent and try to take him in as my subordinate! If he's ordinary, I'll just kill him. "
"When are you going to make your move, Territorial Lord?"
"In a few days, I guess,"
The man in luxurious robes said in a deep voice, "Hmm … there seems to be some sort of treasure appearing in the direction of Howling Moon Mountain in the next one or two months. We can't let others beat us to it."
His true form was that of a wyrm.
There was a thin trace of the bloodline of Dragons left in his body.
However, that thin trace of the bloodline of Dragons was enough for him to become one of the top existences among ferocious beasts!
The aura of Dragons that drifted over from the direction of Howling Moon Mountain was faintly discernible. Other demon beasts might not be able to sense it, but as a wyrm, he could vaguely sense it!
At the very least, he felt his heart skip a beat when he was enveloped by that aura!
That was a might that came from the depths of his bloodline!
That aura was definitely the appearance of a treasure and it had something to do with Dragons!
"If I can obtain that treasure, my strength will definitely increase tremendously. In fact, I might even have a chance of turning into a True Dragon in my lifetime!"
The river demon was shocked and knelt on the ground hurriedly, shouting, "Congratulations, Territorial Lord!"
The man in luxurious robes rose slowly and gazed into the distance, saying in a deep voice, "If that day comes, even the entire Thousand Demon Valley won't be able to trap me, let alone this puny Ghastly River!"
